"They [D.C. United] have called my athletic director. My AD told them they weren't allowed to talk to me until after the year. I have to think about things, let the dust settle, and if they want to talk ... I don't know enough about the situation to know if I would be interested. That's a different jump. Certainly I will listen, but at the same time, I need to think about where things are. I love Akron, I love the players, we return a great group."
